Costing run for materials

Hi,
We have product costing in our company (COPC). We have two production versions for one FG. Currently we have run the costing based on version 1. But from next month if I need to run the costing based on version 2, I need to know will it work if I save the cost estimate of version 2 from CK11N and run the costing from CK24? Will it update the cost of the FG for the next month based on version 2 ? If not please explain a way to do this.
Many Thanks
Oshani

Hi Oshani,
Yes. It should work. Just be sure you assign the Version 2 in CK11N (in the tab Qty Struct.).
Check also that you version 2 is active (traffic light is green) in C223.
Thanks and Regards,
Mariano

Costing run for materials with special procurement key

Hello,
Since moving to ECC6, the costing run for materials with special procurement keys is not pulling the marked price from the materials the special procurement keys point to. Only the released prices are pulled.
Example:
Material A, plant A has a future price (costing 2 tab) of 100 and a current price of 99
Material A, plant B has special procurement key Z1 (costing 1 tab) which pulls the costing from Material A, plant A
In our old system (46c) the costing run for Material A, plant B would pull 100.
In ECC6, the costing run for Material A, plant B pulls 99
Anyone that can push me in the right direction?

Hi,
Based on the info provided thus far, the result that you notice in ECC 6.0 is right as it is picking the current standard price based on your setup.
Now why it is picking the future price in 4.6c, well for that you will have to do a detail check as in which variant is being used etc. I would suggest you to work with your CO personnel on this. Do a costing run for this particular material via CK11n using the variant which you mentioned & see the results.
Or if you can upload the screenshots (picasaweb or some other portal) of the valuation variant you're using in 4.6c, along with Acctng view 1 & 2, costing view 1 & 2 details of the material it would help to have a better understanding.

Extractor 0CO_PC_PCP_03: diferent costing runs for the same material

Hi, experts.
We are extracting data with 0CO_PC_PCP_03 extractor, but some materials do not return any record.
If we use CO standard transactions, we can get the values for all materials, but with the extractor just few materials are returned.
We are filtering the extractor with the costing run name and costing run date, but some materials are not extracted.
This is occurring for a specific month only. We have extracted data for other months / costing runs and the same materials appears in CO transaction and in extractor result. The different thing with this problematic month is that there are other costing runs of the same type (costing variant), for a higher date.
It seems like the extractor just can extract the last costing run for a material / month. Any idea?
Thanks,
Henrique Teodoro

Hello,
I have an update in my findings. Few days ago, R/3 user ran a new costing run for a set of materials, using the same costing variant / costing version used one year ago. And now, when I extract the costing run created one year ago, materials present in recently run set don´t appear anymore. I ran this same costing run weeks ago and the material are ok. After the new costing run with the same costing variant / costing version, they are gone from extraction.
Seems like this extraction just can return the last costing variant / costing version for each material. Or maybe the table key that stores this data are costing variant / costing version, instead of costing run / costing run date.
Anybody have any knowledge or experience on this?
Thanks,
Henrique

Costing run for co-product

Hi friend,
I have 5 different finished materials each having 2 same co-products. i could do the costing run for the finished materials, but how to the costing run and standard cost estimate ( i.e ck11n and ck40n) for the 2 co-products. the co-products does not have BOM and routing.
Regards,
Arun kumar R V

Hi
Sub Co-Product will be costed based on 'Apportionment and Source structure' which is maintained in Main Co-product material master.
For example material 'A' has two co-products 'B' and 'C'.
BOM and Routing will be maintained for material 'A' only.
(BOM will contains 'Rawmaterials as well as co-products')
In Material Master of 'A' we have to maintain how to apportion this Qty structure of A to B and C also.For which we required source structure which is need to create in IMG.

After BUDK costing run, 300 materials are open.

After BUDK costing run, 300 materials are open . When clicked on the same it gave a dump.
What may be the reason for which the materials are still open. How to identify them and
take subsequent corrective action?

Hi
Refer Note 1402978 - CK40N: Incorrect statistics after inconsistency corrrection
This note has child Note 542790 - Inconsistency correction: Costing run statistics and others.. You should start with this note.. and then come to above note 1402978

Creating Costing Run for Multiple Plants

Hi,
Is it possible to create a costing run for multiple company codes in a controlling area, instead of creating separate costing runs for each company code?
Thank-You

Christian,
I understood it and my answer is for different company codes.I did it for one of my client.
Let me review the scenario on system.
Traci,
I will get back to you on this by Tuesday(2nd March).
Thanks.Ashok

Costing Run for all Hub Plants

I just want to understand from you regarding your Monthly Costing Run for all Plants.Actually we have Plant 5000 (Ruwais) which is our Manufacturing Plant having BOM.
We have two other Plants 7000 ( Shanghai ) and 7100 ( Singapore ) these are our Hub Plants not Manufacturing Plants and having no BOMs.
When we run our Monthly Costing Run for Plant 5000 using TCode (CK40N), its completes smoothly without any error.
We have to create a material cost estimate in monthly basis using TCode (KKPAN) before we execute cost estimate for both Plants 7000 & 7100.
We see these runs at the months end as very time consuming and we are not manage on time set for such update in SAP as part of the month end procedure.

Hello Yasir,
In our system I see that PC01 and PC02 are the same for cross plant costing:
1 - Future Cost Estimate - valid for fiscal year
2 - Current Cost Estimate - no age restriction
3 - Previous Cost estimate - no age restriction
If your system is set this way, then for cross plant costing, it does not make a difference which one you use.
If all plants are in one company code then the currency should be the same in all, so P rate should not be an issue.
Take one part number: What period and FY is your current cost estimate? What are the validity dates?
go to CK11n, input the part number; hub plant number and create cost estimate.
On the Tab "QTY STRUCT." you should see only Special procurement data, the plant number should be the mfg plant.
Look at the Costing Structure. Top level should be the part in hub plant.
The first level below should be the part in the mfg plant.
theTosts should be the same and I would expect it to be the same as the current cost estimate. (Pay attention to the currency)
If the first level from the mfg plant is not the same as the current cost estimate, you will need to figure out where that cost estimate is coming from.
If you would like to send screen shots of your cost estimate screens, give me your e-mail and I will contact you with pictures of what I expect to see.

Costing run for a material with alternative BOM

Hi Friends,
My requirement is to have product costing for a material with 3 different BOMs, in CK11N i can change the alternative BOM number to have costing run for 3 differesnt boms, but in ck24 how to proceed, My client requirement is such that the standard price should be the average price of the costing run from 3 different boms, and they are not interested in manual price change in MR21
Regards,
Arun Kumar R V

Hi Arun,
You can have a Standard cost estimate based on only one of the alternative BOM and Routing. This alternative is selected based on the business ie., whichever alternative is generally used in production frequently. This will be the std cost and whenever you do the production using the other alternatives, the difference in cost will be captured as Variance.
There is no option of having average or cost estimate for each alternative at the same time.
There is absolutely no use in maintaining price in MR21 for an in house produced material, since during Prod Order process the planned costs will be arrived at based on the quantity structure of BOM & Route only.

Costing run for the material in Physical distribution Plant

Hi experts,
There's a material both creates in productoin plant 1000 & physical distribution plant 1999. (same material number)
However, BOM & routing only create in prodution plant 1000.
How do we copy BOM & routing (in prodution plant) for the material creates in Physical distribution Plant and excute costing run for it? (we need to excute costing run every month, so standard cost for the material in productoin plant 1000 & physical distribution plant 1999 needs to be the same every month.)
Thanks in advance.

HI AO
1. There is no standard feature to copy the BOM/Routing from Plant 1 to 2...
While creating in PLant 2, you can give the reference of Plant 1.. Or you can use some BAPIs to do the same
2. If you want same std cost in Plant 2 as in Plant 1, then easier way would be to create a Special Procurement Key and assign the same in Material master - Costing View of Plant 2 (1999)
Follow the steps below
1. Go to OMD9
2. Click on New entries: Enter your Plant = Plant 2 (receiver plant) "SP Pr Type" = Z1 and Proc Type = F;
3. Under Special Procurement Secrion
Enter U as special procurement and Plant 1 in the Plant Field (Transferring plant)
4. Save this entry, and in Mat Master of Plant 2, specify Z1 as Special proc key in Costing view (NOT MRP VIEW)
5. Run CK11N in Plant 2... and release from CK24

Costing run for MRP-MPN set

Hai,
I am using MPN concept in my process.
Here I am getting one problem while going for Costing Run.
1. In BOM component for FERT is maintained as leading part. on which there is no Inventory maintained or no value for this material in Material Master so in costing run it is taking that value.
2. How costing run consider the MPN materials for Costing.
Thank & regards
KM

Hi,
Normally while creating the material master, we will maintain some approximate value in the accounting view. Then later while running the cost estimation, it will explode the BOM, routing it will calculate the BOM item component costs and the activity costs and the same it will update in the costing 2 view. This is the concept of standard cost estimation.
MPN material is the manufacturer part no. While procuring the component or while supplying the components to the supplier we need to supply the material as per their material no we need to supply them or procure them. But for our easy handling or to follow our own system we will me maintain the different material no. This 2 things we need to link MPN profile and the MPN material no. When u order your own material, the system in turn will create a purchase order with the vendor material no. This is the MPN material logic.
regards,
V. Suresh

Costing Run for Configurable Material

Hi,
When I try to run costing run CK40N for KMAT material, I am geting information "No materials selected" for the 'selection' flow-step.
Below is the Error description.
No materials selected
Message no. CK277
Diagnosis
Due to the costing variant used, no materials could be selected for the cost estimate.
System Response
No materials were selected.
Procedure
1. First, check that the materials you want to cost exist.
2. Then go into Customizing and check the costing variant, the reference variant, and the transfer control. If the plant changes, a suitable transfer strategy must be entered in the transfer control belonging to the reference variant.
Thanks in Advance,
Shiva

hi Shiva,
It is not possible to do the cost calculation for configurable materials in CK40N or CK11N.
To do the product costing it is mainly required the BOM and Routing, but in case of configurable materials the BOM and Routing are not fixed(here Super BOM/Super Routing are used with valid object dependencies which may result in "n" number of material variants)
To do the costing for configurable material you can use t code - CU50 (configuration simulation)
Here in CU50 you can select the characteristics values which ultimately selects the valid BOM and Routing required for variant production and do the costing and check.

Cost Run for Raw Material taking Standard Price instead of Moving Price

Hi all,
We ran a material costimate with normal components FG>SFG>RM. The RM price Control is set to
V (Moving Average Price) and for SFG & FG it is S(Std. Price). After we run CK11N, the price for
RM in Material Master changes as per Moving Price. We found that the RM Component is
costed based on Standard Price and not on the previous cost run Moving Average Price. After
certain period, if we again do cost run, the sytem is again picking up the standard price for costing
not the revised Moving Price. We have checked the Valuation Variant in the Costing Variant, where the strategy given is 1. Moving Average Price 2. Standard Price. We also tried to change the
sequence as 1. Price as per Purchase Info Record 2. Moving Average Price and 3. Standard Price and
also 1. Standard Price and 2. Moving Average Price. Our requirement is when we run the cost estimate the raw material has to pick the price of previous moving price stored in the Material Master. Kindly tell us where to set the indicator.
Thanks,
Sadashivan

Hi Srikanth,
Problem solved. I checked the sequence in Valuation Variant and modified in Valuation Variant for Plant which I have not set previously and now the system is working correctly.
Thanks,

Cost element for materials in network profile

Dear All,
Want to use material planning field in internal activity under assignment tab. But I have the following queries
What is the cost element that I have to mention in network profile under internal activity?
If I mention the cost element in network profile and plan my internal activity in initial stage and later on if I assign material to internal activity will the Plan cost of that internal activity increases by the material added to that activity.
3. under OBYC materials have different cost elements based upon valuation class. so how the planned vs actuals will be show in the report.
Regards
Avinash

Hi Avinash,
See my replies below.
1 a & B: You are planning Qty on NWA and capturing costs - labor & Equipment on NWA elements.
When you are having elaborated to NWA-Element level, split your total work on each NWA-element and post labor cost. Thus you will have planned Vs actual costs at one place.
coming to equipment cost - are you capturing using PO through GR?.
2.a : Option1- create a separate WBS elements for materials and plan cost at WBS level. That value would be your total planned cost of material procurement as estimated. Under this WBS elements create NWAs and assign the materials. With this set up you can assign material and procure so that will have actual costs coming from GR.
Option 2: Create a one General Cost activity and assign the total planned cost of material on this NWA.
When you assign the material components, diligently you have to reduce the equivalent amount from the general costs activity. Also note that on component screen, you have to check box "Cost relevant" so that material cost will add to Cost NWA. Let the different materials have their own valuation class and have default CEs accordingly. that would not be big issue.
Please discuss with your MM team to get more information. Also my suggestion is to leave blank CE field in configuration.
The option2 is very cumbersome and high risk but one have to be very cautious to reduce the value from Cost NWA in order to sustain the planned material costs whenever they added.
3. I have answered the relevance of Cost relevance check box in above.
Hope above makes sense.
Thanks,
Sudhakar

Costing run for material - std. cost estimate

Hi all,
The scenario is as below:
I have a material (halb). I have maintained a BOM. Now, i donot have a routing, but i just use a reference operation set.
In this case, when i run the standard cost estimate (t code CK11N), the master data is read. But, since no routing exists, so the activity costs wont be read. So what should be done in this case, so that the costs as per the activity in ref. operation set is also captured?
Shrenik

Shrenik,
If the Referance Operation Set is standard and same is going to be used always, please enter that details of the Ref. Opn Set in the costing 1 view of the material master under Quantity structure data.

Pre-requiste for costing run

Hi
VERP, ROH are in BOM with S and price determination 3, FERT and HALB are also on Standard price.
I want to run costing run for semi-finished and finished materials in May 2010 in QA but May is not open.
I am going to maintain ROH prices via MR21 system response that prices could be maintained in period 4-2010.
I think if I maintained prices in 4-2010 then close the period 4 and open period 5, costing run will not pick the prices of ROH because these prices are not maintained in period 5. Material ledger is active.
Please advise pre-requisites for costing run in period 5-2010.
thanks
imdad

Hi,
When you use actual costing in Material Ledger,a price must be
released before the first goods movement in the period.
The sequence is as follows:
1. calculate and mark ALL prices BEFORE MMPV
2. run MMPV   to open the period
3. run price release (CK42N, CK24, CKME)
To ensure a complete release of ALL prices, it exists the dynamic price
release. That means postings, which occur after step 2, but before
of total completion of step 3, will release prices dynamically. That
means, a price change document is automatically triggerd by and posted
together with the goods movement.
For materials with Price determination control 3 this new price released price must
remain during the period.

MLM
